      She stood there in front of the mirror, trying to catch her breath, to slow her racing heart. Blue eyes stared at the reflection in the mirror, but it wasn't one she even recognized. Small white straps connected to a white lace bodice that showed off her slender figure and modest chest before hitting her hips, where a ruby sash connected and flowed down to the ground with a train of white split by red behind her. Blonde hair was half pulled up and set in light waves, framing her fair face. Painted eyes and lips completed the ensemble with diamond drop earrings. Who was this woman staring back at her. She was beautiful, and so unknown to her.
      She raised her left hand and placed it against the glass, staring at the ring adorning her finger. This was supposed to be her big day, the one she had always dreamed about, where all of her dreams would come true and it would begin her happily ever after, but it didn't feel that way. She felt like everything was slipping away, like it was all wrong. She tried to reason with herself, to be rational. Hearing the music start though, she lost all breath and nerve. Frantically, she tore at the door that stood between her and her life, and flung it wide open. She took the plunge and ran, avoiding any possible eye contact, darting between objects that would otherwise obstruct her passage. With each step, her throat tightened and her eyes brimmed over with tears. She knew she was breaking his heart and she would probably never get the chance to do it over, but she couldn't stop her feet from moving.
      Out the back double doors of the church and she drew in a large breath as if she had been under water for a long time and her life depended on it. Gulping down her terror she raced towards the street and hailed a cab, imploring it to just go anywhere as she finally broke down in a fit of large gasping sobs. She knew she was a mess, and becoming more of one as the moments ticked on, but such seemed to be her life at the moment....



     Yeah... I don't even know. So random, but there's somethin I suppose. Time for some serious bed, along with being drugged because I'm feeling very very awful. I can't stand being sick. Hope everyone has a better night than I.
